No mention in any article I’ve seen about the woman from PA. Did she die? Has she recovered. They’ve known about this for a month. Why now? Is Hillary doing poorly?

Given the speed with which HIV has savaged the population, it’s only a matter of time for this.
The fuse has been lit.

"The authors wrote that the discovery 'heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria.'"
Hardly seems worth celebrating. Did they herald the emergence of obama in the same manner?

This should be in breaking news. This is a disaster. We are going to pay for it within the next 5-10 years. Maybe less.

Golly! Wouldn't it have been nice to let the public know where this person had been and how she might acquired the awful bug?
Let me make a guess:

Antibiotics have no effect on viruses. Except that viral conditions can give rise to bacterial conditions. After a bacterial condition is dealt with then the body, having less of a strain, can more easily deal with the virus. Or so I have found.

From what I have heard people in the US often pay substantially more for the same drug as people in other countries. I find this upsetting. Once again we are financially bearing the burdens of the world and being taken advantage of.

See Medieval Potion Kills Superbug MRSA Better Than Antibiotic Vancomycin - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3274679/posts
However, “Rumbaugh tested the stuff in tissue taken from mice infected with MRSA. The salve will have to be made using more modern methods before anyone can test it in a living animal, she said.”
This old recipe may kill the colistin-resistant E. coli also.
There is a good chance that it will only work using the original methods and “more modern methods” will weaken the salve. But in any case it will take years and millions or billions of dollars before it would be approved if it will work with “modern methods.”
